A succession plan is an internal plan. For example, Doug Marrone is the highest position in the SU Football hierarchy. If he leaves unexpectedly, obviously it's going to cause some havoc and you succession plan in order to prevent that. You wouldn't succession plan for an assistant because those roles are relatively easy to fill (compared with a Head Coach or Coordinator).
 
You look at different scenarios (i.e. Marrone leaves, who on the staff has the skill set or is worthy of a promition, Hackett leaves, etc) and identify who on the staff has the skill sets to be successful in those roles and would be ready to be promoted. If you don't identify anyone, then clearly you're going to have to go outside the organization.
 
I'm simply offering a different scenario as to why the search was concluded so quickly (Shafer being identified as a successor) other than Dr Gross doing an irresponsible search. And there's a big difference between giving the benefit of the doubt until something factual comes out based on a couple of possible scenarios and accusing Gross of being irresponsible in his search process based on nothing factual.
